5 - Setting up a New Game Mode

In the previous step we finished setting up our Vehicle Blueprint and assigned all the controls we need to make it work properly. In this last step, we'll finish by setting up a new Game Mode that
is uses our Vehicle Blueprint as the Default Pawn for the game.

If you did not use a blank project template when starting this guide you may find that you already have a Game Mode assigned that conflicts with the one we're creating in this step. Use the steps below
to create a new Game Mode so that you can spawn in the vehicle you've created throughout this guide.

Creating a New Game Mode

In the Content Browser click the Add New button and select Blueprint Class from the menu list.

In the Pick Parent Class window, select Game Mode Base and then click the Select button to create the Game Mode Blueprint.

In the Content Browser, double-click to open the new Game Mode Blueprint so that you can edit it. In the Details under Classes next to Default Pawn Class, use the drop-down selection to choose
Your Vehicle Blueprint that you created in Step 3.

Aftering doing this you can click Save and then Close this window.

In the Main Viewport window in the World Settings tab under the Game Mode section set GameMode Override to Your Game Mode Blueprint.
